Event Details
- The challenge for the month is for all of us to get stronger! Strength training (toning and building muscles through resistance) is an important part of staying healthy and prevent injuries, especially as we get older. Even if you don't have weights at home, you can do strength work with pushups or other exercises using your own body weight. Let's make our health a priority!

Aww, that is great, Diane! Are you feeling better today?
-
Yes a little but it's that cough and all the phlegm. I feel like it's an endless pit.. lol

My husband is getting worse. I had it before him so i'm a little a head of him.

Aww, will keep praying for you both!

Thank you both so very much. <3

Today is the last day of our fitness challenge! I hope that you were able to improve your strength and that you were blessed. Even if you did not do as well as you hope, don't give up, because building strength is a lifetime goal, and not just something... more-

Nobody going to the lake this weekend either. My husband and I are sick with this bad cold. When I cough it goes so deep and sounds bad. My daughter called and here and her husband are ill with the same thing. My daughter sounds like me. My grandson is... more

I am still not well with a bad cold by the way Pastor Dion never coughed doing the service. Tell him well done. I could have never done that with my cough.
Today I went outside with the dog walking him around after it was a long night for the dog. He... more - Sylvia Todd:
Back is bothering me a bit today, so stretched it out with some time on the treadmill and some light weights. Every bit counts ;-)!

Strength training is a great part of anyone's life who wants to prevent injuries, have better balance and prevent osteoporosis. Even if you haven't stayed on track this month, I encourage you to not give up and start today!
Time spent on strength training can literally help you turn back the clock and feel younger each day.-

Amen, well done, Diane!

Knocked out a kickboxing/barre combo today! One thing, for those like me who don't like sit-ups (they bother my neck), just doing front kicks works for me as a low-impact way to work on ab strength!

Good morning, all! Yesterday, we ended up going to the movies with a couple of friends, something we haven't done in a super long time, so took it as a rest day. For those interested, we saw "Sully", which was great !

Sully is a great movie and based on a true story.
- Sylvia Todd:
Good morning! Yesterday, I did a combo of kickboxing and barre, which I enjoyed. There are some areas in my kickboxing video where they are talking and a couple of exercises I'm not up to doing (like burpees) and the barre let me do strength work at the... more

One thing about your exercise routine is to know thyself. I am generally more of a morning person, so the further it gets into the day, the less I am apt to get rolling with my workout, especially anything very cardio ;-). Knocked out some kickboxing... more-
Sylvia, thank you and I pray the same for the two of you. Amen! <3

I did my stretching and walking early yesterday. <3 Sorry it's after 12:00 a.m.-

Well done, Diane! Hehe, no worries, our days run late sometimes, too !
- Sylvia Todd:
Busy day of errands today, so my exercise consisted of lugging around big box store items with Dion
!
- Sylvia Todd:
One (perhaps obvious) benefit of working on strength is that my cardio workouts become more effective, letting me put more power and endurance into it. Got some kickboxing, treadmill and some strength work in today (squats, lunges, and the like)

I did my stretching and walking today. Amen!! It's way to hot for me to go outside so i'm staying in the AC and the roofers are back. They messed the ridge vent up bad. My husband went out and bought the one that he wants. You save your hard earned money... more-
Wow, that looks terrible! I guess they were in hurry to get to the next job. We are blessed to have a local carpenter here who takes pride in his work and won't leave until the job is done right.

We have our next door neighbor he's a carpenter. My husband and he went on the roof and looked at everything. It's a plastic ridge vent and my husband told him when plastic heats up it will bend. He said he didn't want it but they said it's good. So that... more

My back pain is gone, after suffering for one week, I feel like new today. Back to squats, AB workout, treadmill and ellipitical machines with resistance band workout also. Going to try my yoga workup DVD too. Keep it moving and Yes you can!-

Yesterday we took a nice drive/ picknic / walk up to a nearby mountain stream and in God's beautiful forest! A wonderful and refreshing way to get our exercise on and I consider the up hill climb a bit of core toning so that's a plus! Have a great day... more-

Chris Dibbern:
Yesterday and today were rest for me. Friday was a somewhat heavier lift that I don't do often, so I am taking some extra time to recuperate. :-)-

That sounds like a good idea, Chris, may you come back stronger than ever tomorrow!
-
For the record, Friday's workout was mainly deadlifts and weighted squats. These guys'll put you out like a light, the night after you do 'em.
-
Yikes, that sounds tough! Good job with challenging yourself, brother!
- Sylvia Todd:
Good morning, fitness pals! Planning on rest day today, unless I feel extra energetic later. Hope you're all having a blessed Sunday !

I totally get that, Dianna! Adjusting to a new routine, and a new job can throw everything off. When Dion and I worked for a year at an "outside job" (as opposed to working from home), our eating and exercise were wrecked for a while (way too much Sonic... more

Had a good march on the treadmill today, along with some home strength work. Managed to work off the excess caffeine from earlier, and feel better!

Hello, last night i could not sleep cause a headache for no drinking coffee since about 12 hours -
Aww, Dion has that problem too, and gets migraines when he doesn't have coffee as well. It usually goes away after about three days. This last month though, he continued to have headaches, so we are still testing on the reason. Some people just seem to... more

Sylvia, my husband is the same as Pastor Dion. If he don't drink his coffee he ends up with a bad headache. :-)

When Dion first started having migraines, we thought it was something more serious. If all it takes is a cup of coffee, no problem ;-)

Amen!
